    You are trying to pretend to some moral high ground with these comments, but what they boil down to is this:

    “Everyone, please present to me fact based arguments that ignore the facts about the established goals and behavior about the person proposing these changes. THOSE facts are undesired.”

      Yes, I am pointing out it is idiotic to assume everything an evil person says or does is evil or wrong.

      Hitler pushed for animal welfare. Are we supposed to assume that was wrong and start torturing dogs because Hitler wanted animal welfare?

      The policy is either good or bad. Whether it was proposed by Trump, Biden or Lincoln makes no difference to that.

      The fact I have to spell this out for you is extremely concerning.

        I disagree with your assessment of the legislation in any case, but you haven’t accepted similar arguments from anyone else, so I don’t see why you’d accept them from me.

        It’s a shitty change that also comes from a shitty person.

        We know trump serves only himself and his cronies. Ergo, any legislation from him is to serve himself or his cronies.

          So fighting climate change is shitty as long as a shitty young person decides it is in their interest to fight climate change?

          No. Maybe the policy is shitty but it coming from Trump does not prove that.
